Buying your first home in Vallejo
Buying your first home, with each step explained in plain language.
A first home with a lot of choices
For a first-time buyer, Vallejo's variety can feel like a lot: Victorian and Craftsman homes, mid-century properties, suburban subdivisions and waterfront condominiums. Each is a different kind of purchase, with different costs and responsibilities, and part of my job is to explain those differences before you fall for one.
The first steps
We begin with a conversation, then a preapproval with a trusted lender so you know your purchasing power, monthly payment and closing costs. If you're considering a condominium, I'll point out what to ask about, such as HOA rules. See first-time buyers and the Home Buyer's Guide.
No question is too basic, and I explain each step as it comes.
